Problems with UBook X Video Playback

Windows Tablets UBook
#1

I have severe problems with Video Playback on the N4100 model.
Whenever i watch a video in the browser (be it with or without the power connected) every other minute or so the video freezes. When I switch into fullscreen mode the problem persists and the video goes black for something like two seconds. I already checked for driver updates. This also happens when the video is buffered far ahead in FHD resolution.
Any advice?

You can try increasing the size of the Windows paging file in case the bottleneck is caused by ram filling.

Change memory size and paging
Close all open programs and files. Right-click on the Windows Start menu and choose Run.
In the “Run” window that opens type sysdm.cpl (and press Enter on your keyboard).
The “System Properties” are displayed. Click on its Advanced Options tab. Then press the Settings button that is at the top (there are two others below that that are called the same).
You enter the “Performance Options”. Choose the Advanced Options tab at the top. Then press the Change button at the bottom.
Put a value above the default one.

If this does not correct the problem, please write again and I will give you one more option

I can’t imagine this to be the problem, RAM usage is around 40-50% with a minute and more beeing buffered.
I tried it in Chrome instead of Firefox and it works a bit better, the stuttering seems to be less. Is there a way to fix performance in Firefox?

  • Update Intel HD driver (My current version is: 20.19.15.4835)
  • Apply this to the registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ GraphicsDrivers]
“DisableOverlays” = dword: 00000001

  • And restart the tablet

  1. Click start :arrow_right: Write Device Manager.

  2. Click on the display adapter drop-down.

  3. Right click on the “Intel HD Graphics” device.

  4. Click on “Update driver”

  5. *** Be careful with what is played here. Press the Windows key + Letter R on the keyboard. Type “regedit”

  6. Locate the path through the folder tree (be careful, don’t do it without the supervision of a major) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ GraphicsDrivers]
    “DisableOverlays” = dword: 00000001

  7. In the window on the right, right click and give a new Word record (32)

  8. Put the button in hexadecimal, and write the number 1.
    Quit everything, and restart.
